Chapter 64

　　Leah's POV

　　As I was sitting on the bench, the warmth of the afternoon sun enveloped me in a gentle embrace. The light danced across the trees, casting intricate patterns on the ground beneath my feet.

　　My brother had already left, leaving me to enjoy a moment of solitude. I knew he didn't want to leave me alone, but I insisted.

　　I had already stopped crying, although the tear marks on my face were still there. I felt so ashamed of myself, crying in front of everyone like a child. But at the same time, I did feel deeply frustrated, knowing that I may never get my mate's love in my life.

　　The wind gently blew, bringing me waves of the fragrance of pine and cedar from the snow-covered mountaintop. They stood there, for thousands of years, being side by side with their adjacent companions, so close, yet so apart.

　　As always, nature always manages me down, for every werewolf is nature's child.

　　I took a deep breath, taking the beauty of the world around me.
